penny stocks

Low-priced securities

Penny stocks are shares in small companies that trade at very low prices—traditionally under a dollar, though the term extends to stocks trading under five dollars.

They're typically sold outside major exchanges and carry high risk due to limited information, low liquidity, and susceptibility to manipulation.
